Caio Borralho responds to critics after knockout victory at UFC Rio

One of the main fighters of the new generation of Brazilian MMA, Caio Borralho continued his good moment in the UFC. Last Saturday (4), in Rio de Janeiro, the athlete faced Paul Craig and fulfilled what he promised: he won by knockout in the second round. Therefore, ‘The Natural’ did not forget the criticism he received from fans and sent a message.

Before working at UFC Rio, Caio was called by some fans as ‘Senhor Decção’, as he had only won once in the fast lane in the five victories he had in the company. In fact, the week of the fight, the Brazilian seemed uncomfortable with this judgment and promised to knock out the Scotsman to silence the critics. Therefore, upon emerging victorious, ending the fight in the middle of Brazil, the athlete, who achieved his first knockout in the league, stressed that he never doubted himself and the quality of his game.

“I don’t even need to say anything. My actions say it all for me. I did what I said I would do. I know I can end the fights. People will start to notice this. I don’t need to prove anything to anyone. I just need to prove it to myself and I proved it today. I proved what I already knew. I submitted Oleksiejczuk by rear naked choke, I won some by decision, by submission and now it was my first knockout in the UFC. When I get back to the hotel, keep an eye on my Instagram. I’ll show you what I wrote during the week. Thank you God, for my knockout victory, for my six consecutive victories, for the bonus and for the best performance of my life. I wasn’t asking, I was already thanking you. So, God did this and I’m grateful”, declared the athlete at the post-fight press conference.
